Another Free Cool Blogging Thing…

…that will probably be killed by it’s own popularity in the not to distant future.

In my never ending quest to bring you a blog reading experience that ranks right up there with winning a buck on a lottery scratch-off, I give you Gravatars! That is if have signed up for that service and deem to leave me a comment. When you do, your gravatar will appear right next to your words of wisdom. Mine is made from my image du moment, Bend. What’s yours? Leave a comment and show the world (well, at least this small slice of it.)

Can’t Leave Well Enough Alone Can I?

When I first started this re-design I wanted the posts to show up in different color blocks. I tried 3 different MT plugins with no success. Today I googled for a php script that would do a random thing and found a simple one on scriptygoddess that looked promising. And, well, wouldn’t you know it, it worked. I’ve just used it on the front page, the monthly archives and individual pages are still monocolored. So now that I got what I wished for, am I happy? Not sure. Maybe I need to find one that will run through a list instead of random. Maybe I should quit mucking around.

Tonight was (is) West Wing marathon on Bravo. I watched 2.5 episodes before I broke away. While watching that 2-1/2 hours of TV I was subjected to at least 50 promos for other Bravo shows and their new logo is now permanently etched into my head…you know, if I removed the left two roundings and dangled a triangle down and to the left I could have my posts appear in a bravolike box.
Bravo
Now the question becomes, should the bravo boxes be different colors or not? 😀

Doobie Wah

I hope Peter Frampton isn’t upset. I totally forgot about Frampton Comes Alive being one of my 70s staples too, until I heard a Muzak version of “Show Me The Way” in a restaurant today. Technically that particular album was a few years post high school anyway. Well, you know what they say about marijuana and memory…at least I hope you do, because I seem to have forgotten. 😉

More fun with the Bend photo – ASCII art!
